I like it, at least that free part I tried. But I am very suspicious about "to be continued" games since Hlaf Life 2 ;)

I really love the concept of this game but when the app says it's free and I find out I need to pay to get the majority of the content it's an extreme let down. Just charge a couple bucks for the app if you are going to charge at all.

This game claims to be free however you only get to play part of the first mission. Each other one costs you $2.99. DONT GET THIS GAME.

Each episode was free or didn't cost so much. 1.85$ for about two minutes of a story I'm only going to play once? No, thanks. Otherwise, the content for the first two shorts was pretty cute. Some grammar issues, but nothing distracting.

The begins brilliantly with a James Bond-style introduction that neatly teaches you how the game will operate and gives you the flavor of what is to come, which is an Ian Fleming-style game of gadgetry, femmes fatales and good old fashioned testosterone-fueled spy fun. Trouble is, that the game does not deliver on all its promises. First the good. The writing is mostly quite well done and sticks to the tropes of the genre very well. There are lots of little atmospheric touches from the music to some really well done soundscapes that add to the flavor. But the game falls short in several crucial areas. There are way too many instances where no choice of action is offered, where you simply have to acknowledge a plot point to move on to the next sound file. This is unsatisfactory. Also, the voice acting is inconsistent, with the character of Alex being the best and the women nearly uniformly of poorer quality, though the drunk college student was very convincing. I will say that where character development has been attempted, it is one of the strong points of the game. You will find Neptune to be challenging in ways that a typical Bond villain is not, which I appreciate./ Stis

It's like a choose your own adventure book with sound effects and Logan Cunningham's voice, what more do you need? You get to play the role of a secret agent, and the decisions you make determine what kind of agent you are. The writing and voice acting are usually very good. They aren't ashamed to use a lot of spy movie tropes, which is part of the charm. It is a really unique experience to hear the story unfold and speak your choices back. The voice recognition works quite well; it never mixed up my choices, though a couple of times I had to say "clever" several times before it caught it. I do wish it would continue playing when the screen is locked so I could play while out on walks, but leaving the screen on in my pocket would be a big battery drain. I'm excited to see where this medium goes in the future.

Thanks to the developers, thank u for an awesome title. This is something i see with other titles only getting better. Awesome start so far. Grate self voicing audio and the clairty is actually better then apples version of this. I am thankful that u guys took the time to come to android and make an awesome game. I pull for your other titles if and or when u do or release them, that they are just as grate. This is something that all audiences of visuallyimpaired, blind, and the sighted can play and enjoy alike. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Keep of the awesome and grate work. This is what we need. Sighted communities can get this type of fun in there xboxes, playstations, etc. We as the visually impaired and blind, thanks to this company can also get this awesomeness. Thanks again. Perfect 5 from me.

$7.99 for one chapter? How much for each of the next 10 to complete the story?
